What are your 2023 Reading Goals? Have you set a certain number of books to complete this year or have you set aside certain prompts to complete? Whatever your goals may be, or even not, you can let us know here.

I have set out to complete reading 50 books this year, whichever suits my mood. Not many since I will be busy with other things too.

I'm slowly trying to bring my "number of books read per year" down... I read 150 last year and I've set my goal for this year as 100 but I can definitely tweak it whenever or however I want... 💖

Only 50 books this year because of exams and school. Though I do wish to read more, I just don't have time!!

Same target! 😊 And same reason too, i have got studies too 😂

I upped my goodreads goal this year to 200 because I read a lot of graphic novels/mangas, poetry collections and some picture books so I was passing my goal way too soon every year previously.

I've only read 160 books last year, so will set my goal at 160 again. Usually I read more books

Yes, yes. I barely have any time after school, then studies, then have to entertain my small sister (babysit) then, 10:00 sleep!!

-Reread the Harry Potter series
-Read at least three books by Kristen Simmons
-Finish His Dark Materials series
-Read five iBooks
-Listen to three audiobooks
-Read 60 books

In 2021 I read more than 100 books, so in 2022 I set my goal as about 100 books again. However, I wasn't that active on GR and so I didn't log the long list of books I read on the GR yearly reading challenge... so now in 2023, I set my goal low at about 10 books, and if I surpass that, then that's great!

My goal is to read more different genres again

Started my goal 25 books this year since I hadn't read January til April then decided to increase it to 50. And now I'm already 42/50. I'm thinking to increase it again to 75. ☺️

And as to book genre, still reading fantasy, thriller/mystery, and romance. But this year, I'm exploring historical fiction.

i'm thinking of maybe increasing my goal of 100 books (which i passed a few months ago 😭) to like.... hmmm lets seeeee.... maybe fourty-five more books or smth lol!! i mean there are only four more months in the year yk

i also really want to step out of my comfort zone and read more ya :3

still thinking about it? I think you should just go for it :D

thank youu and i knowww... but UGH its just i dont wanna start reading a YA novel and then i have to stop reading it bcs of the content! I think i'll be more mature next year so i may be able to read through the whole book without stopping or smth lol!

bcs if i get a book i've ALWAYS WANTED TO READ and then have to STOP reading it. That will TOTALLY ruin my perspective on the book so... yeah *sigh* if that makes sense lol

Mostly just reading more. I've been kinda depressed lately and also stressed out because struggling financially, so haven't had the bandwith to read a whole lot. It's kind of hard to focus.

Sorry to hear you are going through hard time, Melissa. Hugs to you.

So sorry to hear about this! I can totally understand Melissa, when basic needs become our priorities it's difficult to find time for our hobbies, I hope you'll feel and get better soon :)

How is everyone doing with their reading goals for this year?

I'm reading more paranomal books, so that is a genre I hardly read last year. But still I don't read a lot of different genres (which was my goal), but I think I am going in the right direction
